I want to try these. I have heard these are really good reads. More comics to buy. :!:
More Than Meets The Eye is great series with a wicked sense of humor. It is just when writer James Roberts starts going into the lore of The Transformers even hardcore fans like me can get lost in it, plus the series tends to forget the main plot of the book a lot. The artwork is dodgy at times.
RID IMHO isn't good or bad it's just boring as hell and according to the fan reaction the same can be said for Drak Cybertron.

Although the aftermath of Dark Cybertron shows a lot of potentional.
The Transformers: Windblade features the debuts of new female Autobots Windblade and Nautica and the comic book debut of Chromia and they're supposed to be giving Starscream grief on Cybertron.
RID #28 Optimus Prime returning to Earth.
MTMTE #28 Megatron joining the crew of the Lost Light.

I saw someone else put Letter 44. That book is great, and suspenseful. Looking forward to every issue at the end of the last one.
WAS reading Batman-Superman. That took a really weird turn though, didn't stick with it past issue 4.
WAS reading All New X-Men. Stopped after Battle of the Atom. I had enough.
Enjoying Sex Criminals.
Still Read Nova out of habit, and although I like the art, not really digging the story.
Also, been getting The Star Wars books, but waiting to read them all in a row.
Black Widow #1 was cool.

As far as NOT monthly books though, I'll always recommend The Boys. Loved that run! Y The Last Man is another epic. Preacher is great too.

I just finished the two most recent issues of Nightwing. I really love that book, and I can't tell you how disappointed I am that Kyle Higgins is leaving the book. (and that the book itself is being cancelled the issue after).

I am enjoying Harley Quinn though.

My non-Valiant top 10 would be as follows:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

I had some trouble figuring out what order to put the first few in, but after that it was simple.

In no particular order...

Hellboy
BPRD
Abe Sapien
Saga
The Massive
X
Dark Horse Presents
Criminal Macabre

I also tend to pick up various crime/horror/supernatural mini-series on an ad hoc basis.
